Ok, saying "any" was my bad. But I want to convey that
for me this relatedness -- the primitive set as a family --
is more important than my getting to type just 1 token
instead of 2. I hope that a winning 1-token-command
design will do utmost to emulate -- change, perhaps,
but not dilute or trade off -- such organization.

No, it won't cancel "any" (by which I mean "all") of the advantage.
But yes, it will lose SOME. It's a tradeoff.
